Where exactly is this poll from? I really doubt the results would be the same if there was a poll on wows own website
Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos was the game that brought me into gaming. I was 17 years old then, I abhorred gaming before this game. From then on, I became a fan of Warcraft and Blizzard. To see it all go down the drain like this is truly sad for me. No king rules forever but at least some of them went down in history as real badasses. I hoped Blizzard and Warcraft would be one of them but it is no longer possible.
Eesh. I know that hating on Go'el Thrall has become a meme, but he is below Lor'themar and even Genn Greymane? I did not expect that.
Also surprised Saurfang isn't on this list.
Also disappointed that half these characters are Human characters.
don't know the source, but it says "FANFICTION" - so maybe a poll on a FF site regarding Warcraft fanfiction characters. Which would explain how more recent characters score so high on the list and why Anduin and Sylv are so high - because the fanfiction community is not your typical WoW community* and because they tend to interpret the characters more freely.
*aka a lot less dudebros with weiner complexes
this is one of the best threads ever because you can actually see who reads the OP and who doesn't...and most doesn't lmao.
WoW players are all trash? M+ leavers? Pug raid fails? You don't have stuff to do? WoW has become a solo player game for you? People don't talk anymore? Everyone's toxic? I have a simple solution, just for you!
Get social. Join a guild.
I never heard of these so called "polls" you mention.
There's no way in hell Anduin is this popular... maybe Horde players love seeing him cry in every cinematic but that's it.
It's kind of weird that Maiev is on that list while Tyrande and Malfurion aren't. Don't get me wrong, I like her more than the other two but she's by far not as well known and barely had any spotlight in WoW.
glad to see you missed the point entirely.
yes, blizzard threw everything at the wall which is alleria, and whatever stuck is what we have now. and now she is only a marginally"interesting and popular character" according to this poll.
and she's still behind a character with no power, not a great design, and no compelling motives who was introduced much more recently than her.
great win for you

The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
I mistook him for Shaw, regardless Fairwind plays a large role throughout all of BfA, meanwhile Alleria appears only sporadically. The fact that he, who has been a recurring character for the whole expansion, is only barely more popular than someone whose appearances you can count on the fingers of one hand, is quite telling.

I mean its based on fanfiction. Anduin could be getting murdered in most of his fanfics. Does that make him popular?
It's based on what's currently going on. And Thrall somehow managed to do less for the story in recent years than freaking Lor'themar. Top 3 are just the 3 major players of BfA, really.
Tho I gotta agree with Jaina being high on the list, for all the bullshit in BfA her arc was pretty good.
What did they actually vote on? Their favourite character? Which characters they know? Which character is prettiest? There's something weird about this poll. They are all characters that are very prominent in BFA. If this poll was done during Legion, Khadgar would take Anduin's place. Thrall and Velen would be up high too. Why is there no source to this poll?

Anyone ever stop to think about that players that started playing WoW the last 6-8 years is probably more likely to vote on polls on the internet and they don't have that much interaction, with lets say Arthas?
Its a pretty clear pattern here. Top 3 are the most prominent ones the last 2-3 years. Its going to affct peoples preferences.
Arthas was incredible dull btw. Warcraft fan for 20+ years.
